This mystery tool is on display at my pharmacy. My pharmacist said his family purchased the drugstore 75 years ago and the tool came with the store. He has had it on display for years and asked for help idenitifying it but has had no luck. Can you help?
Looks like it either crushes or crimps. I will be interested in seeing this one solved.
This a Antique cork press. It was used in pharmacies to compress the cork to be inserted in the medicine bottles. Here's a link.
